This classic, 1989 Model C3 was made in Japan (for the American market) during Yamaha’s golden age of piano manufacturing (1975-1995). I am the original owner, and the piano is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition. It has seen limited use over the years and has always been well-maintained.

I garnered the following comments from several online sites. If you’re a C3 aficionado, then you already know all this. If not:

“OVERALL, A 1989 YAMAHA C3 IS CONSIDERED A TOP-TIER USED GRAND PIANO. IT OFFERS EXCELLENT SOUND QUALITY, PLAYABILITY, AND VALUE FOR MUSICIANS SEEKING A VERSATILE INSTRUMENT THAT CAN HANDLE A WIDE RANGE OF MUSICAL STYLES.”
